Last week, I received our staffing numbers for 2017-2018. We have been allocated 31.5 teachers. Currently, we have 35 on our staff list. Some teachers will be returning from maternity leave and central positions, others may be applying for other teaching positions. Usually we finalize our staffing by end of year. Our staffing committee has been working on a classroom organization model that we will also talk about tonight at Parent Council.
We have also been allocated a Primary Autism class at LKS. TDSB Special Education department will place students in the program, 6 in total. The class is assigned a teacher and Child and Youth Worker. We are very excited to start this new program as it will assist in supporting families in the West end of the city.
Tonight, Ms. Norton and Mrs. Heath will be hosting a parent information night on the Grade 3 and 6 EQAO assessment. I will be hosting a question and answer period for new kindergarten parents who registered with us over the last month. Both presentations start at 6:15 p.m with the former in the library and the latter in the lunchroom. Parent Council will follow at 7:00 p.m. in the library.
Have a great week.
